The ground whispers as she passes through the meadow, grass and flowers alike reaching out to her with their blades and leaves and petals as she walks amongst them. The goddess’ very presence seems to bring life back to the drowned and sunken Susurro Fields, the plants brightening and straightening with renewed vigor. Vespera smiles to herself.
She’s a speck of color on the muddied fields, her coat without stain or blemish. In her wake fresh grass sprouts, its new green blades splitting the surface of the earth and straining for the skies like a million tiny green hands. But the rest of the fields are torn and barren, holes small and large littering the earth every few meters. The place looks like a war zone, but Vespera knows the true fight lies underground.
She wanders aimlessly through the heart of the Dusk Court, spreading energy and life - until a cry catches her attention. It is soft and high in pitch, and the goddess knows at once that it does not belong to an equine.
Turning a corner, she comes upon the gopher.
He’s smaller than the others that roam here, but still far larger than any normal gopher has a right to be. His fur is a dusty tan, with streaks of gold as brilliant as the sun running from nose to tail. Or he would have stripes, she knew, if it weren’t for the mound of dirt that has collapsed on top of him, trapping him in the sinkhole.
“Easy, my friend,” she soothes him with her voice, arriving at his side in an instant. Bit by bit, little by little, she eases him out of the dirt until finally the rodent collapses - free - at her feet.
Still whispering sweet reassurances, the goddess of twilight scoops him up in her telekinesis and heads south, patting his soft fur the whole way.
She leaves him just outside the Court’s gates, building a soft nest for him woven from grass. “They’ll come for you soon,” she promises the creature as he slips into a restless sleep. “And they’ll help you.”
A minute later she is gone - leaving a pillar of light next to the rodent, a beacon calling the residents forth.
